A BOOK OF THE YEAR, ACCORDING TO LA VANGUARDIA, ABC AND EL MUNDO.
“My favorite book this year. I laughed, I cried. It dazzled me. A total favorite.” –Mariana Enríquez The fame of the disagreeable Kimberly Clark Weymouth, a small city forever troubled by freezing winds and plenty of snow, and where Louise Feldman set the children’s classic Mrs. Potter Is Not Really Santa Claus, has let Randal Peltzer open a successful souvenir store. Each day, the city welcomes the eccentric author’s readers and, reluctantly, lives off her. But what would happen if, tired of a fate he didn’t choose, Billy, Randal’s son, decided to close the store and move to another city? Could Kimberly Clark Weymouth afford to stop being the place it’s always been and become something else? Beneath Laura Fernández’ exuberant prose and limitless imagination hides a solid story about maternity, creation, and surrender, about art as a refuge, and the loneliness of those misunderstood, in this crossover between a Roald Dahl’s adult novel and a crazy and digressive T. C. Boyle who would have read too much Joy Williams. Mrs. Potter Is Not Really Santa Claus pretends to blow up the very idea of the tale’s existence, or of the unique tale of that which we are. Because if there is something we are, is infinite possibilities.
